Graph Style: Yaw Pitch Roll

A plot of the attitude of the vehicle (i.e., the rotation between the vehicle's body axes and the vehicle' central body's inertial frame), expressed using 321 YPR angles, as a function of time. YPR angles use a sequence of three rotations starting from a reference coordinate frame. Unlike Euler angles, the rotations are not made about axes defined by an earlier rotation: each rotation is made about the reference system's axes. The 321 sequence uses Z, then Y, and then finally the X axis.

As used in YPR angles, the names yaw, pitch, and roll do not refer to the angles normally used in aviation; the terms yaw, pitch, and roll in aviation refer to 321 Euler angles.
